We're hoping it will get here soon because we planned a shakedown trip for the end of March. It would be nice to be able to do it in the Premier. I've been trying to Google as many pictures as I can find just to help me pass the time waiting for it ![]() We decided to get the 31BHPR because it has the perfect floorplan for us (with 5 kids). It gives us room to grow into it. We really loved our Tango, but there were also a few little things about the Premier that we liked: 1. There is a nightstand/counter space on each side of the queen bed and an electrical outlet in a logical place so that we can easily put a clock radio, glasses, iPod, book, etc. within easy reach. Our Tango had wardrobes that went all the way down, eliminating that space and the electrical outlet was above our heads making it useless to use unless you wanted a cord dangling over you. 2. A second outside door to the bathroom is going to be a major convenience because the kids won't have to climb all the way through the trailer just to go to the bathroom. 3. The big slides creates so much floor space in the bunkroom that the kids have a space to call their own. 4. The U-shaped dinette gives us more seating space vs our old TT and the air mattress sofa is big enough to sleep adults if required. 5. The trundle bed will be safe for our 2 year-old to sleep on since there's will be no worry about her rolling over onto the floor. A couple of other things like the full-body paint and LED lights are purely cosmetic, but I like them. I'm hoping the more aerodynamic shape will help offset its larger size. Sure glad to see the ProPride hitch in your signature. That is one long unit for your TV. Paul & Lisa 2010 GMC Denali 6.2L with Integrated Brake Controller and backup camera.

We spent almost the whole month of August (27 days) on the road with the Premier going all the way from Vancouver to Minneapolis and the entire rig handled great from the Rockies to the Prairies and everywhere in between. I have to say also that at almost every campsite we pulled into during our trip, the Premier attracted a lot of attention, questions, and compliments from fellow campers. We're extremely happy with our purchase. 2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali ~ 2010 Keystone Premier 31BHPR ~ Sold: 2009 Tango 289BH ProPride 3P Hitch ~ RV Modifications ~ Gear & Accessories ~ Road Trip 2010 ![]() |

I just went out to check On mine today and measured the door, the door is 19" high and 29" across, so the actual opening will be a little bit smaller than that. Many thanks CampinEarls for the info. 2011 Keystone Bullet Premier 31BHPR 2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited RV modifications ![]() |

I am still teeter tottering on the full body paint. I have read all the threads I could find on the pros and cons and to be honest besides the price there are very few cons that I can find. I think I have till Monday to decide for sure as my dealer has not yet gotten notice that my unit is in production. Paint looks sweet for a long long time but that 3.5k would go a long towards a new truck next year.

Sounds like $3500-$8000 depending on the dealer. So definitely shop around. Mine was on the dealer lot, so I didn't factory order it.

i originally wanted the full body paint. my wife was dealing with two different sales people and when i went to pick it up the first thing i said was that is one good looking unit. after i noticed it wasn't the full body paint they said they thought i wanted the cheaper of the two units! i had already drove 1600 miles to pick it up. they said they could get me full body paint for 5-6k more. i said i didn't even notice right off hand so it isn't that important to me i guess. then i wrecked it!! the shop couldn't find a replacement sticker for the graphics so he painted it. so i am on my way to full body paint! :lol: not worth it in my opinion. i love the look of it, but i still get compliments everytime i drive it somewhere.

Has anyone upgraded their 19" TV to a larger size? I know the model 28RLPR TV can be larger, this is the model we have. I'd like to know if anyone has done this, what size you installed and if any change in the arm/support was needed. Thanks!

Wow, I purchased a Bullet{31BHPR} at the Hershey PA RV show in September, and it just got delivered two weeks ago. Talk about a painful wait, and now sitting in snow waiting for spring. Now for the good news: The trailer came with several additions that we didn't know we were getting. There is one of those cable locks?? under the rear bumper for locking golf carts, bikes or what not. Also an upgraded kitchen faucet with a water filter. And my wife's absolute favorite... a central vacuum system located under the front queen bed. It came with enough hose to vacuum the entire camper and about 5 attachments. The dealer told me that mine was the first he has seen with the vacuum, and that all the built from here on out will come that way. Anyways can't wait to get started camping again. |
